EATING WITH YOUR YOUNG<br />
ONES CAN BE A CHALLENGE AT<br />
TIMES. They can be picky, loud,<br />
irritated, irritating and down-right<br />
difficult. Taking them to a special<br />
place where they can be engaged<br />
is helpful when you have the time<br />
and inclination. Here are a few local<br />
places that my sons like, I hope your<br />
kids do too.<br />
For breakfast, the Sunrise Grill in<br />
North Augusta and Martinez offers<br />
a bright atmosphere with specialty<br />
pancakes that the kids love. Ruth’s<br />
on Washington Road serves a true<br />
country breakfast with delicious<br />
pancakes as well. They even have<br />
smoked sausage – that’s hard to find.<br />
Some great locally-owned places for<br />
lunch or dinner include Fat Man’s Mill<br />
Café (lunch only) at Enterprise Mill.<br />
When you are done there, you can<br />
go walk through the Canal Discovery<br />
Center next door or even take a<br />
Petersburg Boat tour down the canal.<br />
Downtown on Broad Street, Farm<br />
Haus Burgers has specialty burgers<br />
and shakes. Nacho Mamas is just<br />
down the road serving Tex-Mex in<br />
an eclectic environment. The cheese<br />
dip is a favorite. Ask them to chop<br />
up the chicken in the quesadilla<br />
extras fine for little ones – That<br />
quesadilla can feed 2 - 3 kids! We<br />
hear Twisted Burrito is good; they<br />
are a couple of locals and pretty new.<br />
They have a chalk board for kids<br />
to draw on. Brusters in the Target<br />
Shopping Center is good for hot dogs<br />
& icecream, and there’s one in Evans<br />
and North Augusta, too.<br />
